One rainy day, at Amos' home, Copper was gazing upon the window at the windowsill, feeling bored.
"Hey there, Copper," Amos said, stroking his pup on the head.
"You look bored," said Chief.
"Why don't you go outside and play?" Amos Slade suggested.
Upon hearing this, Copper began to cheer up and his owner opened the door.
"Have fun, Copper!" Chief called.
"I will!" Copper shouted back, "And see you when I get back!"
…
The little hound puppy was prancing about in the puddles, making an immense number of splashes until he entered Tod's property. Upon hearing those splashes, the small red fox slithered out through a pet door. "Hey, Copper, ready to play?" he asked.
"Yeah, let's!" Copper exclaimed vibrantly, hopping onto the puddles.
Tod shook himself off of Copper's splashes, giggling. "Well, what're we waiting for? Let's play!" With that, he splashed onto puddles, following Copper in the rain.
Not only were they interested in puddles, they came to a liking on rain. Rain made them want to hightail up and down to and fro.
On that occasion, three birds: Big Mama, the owl, Dinky, the sparrow, and Boomer, the woodpecker watched the two happily play out in the rain.
"Oh, I wish I could play out in the rain, too," Dinky lamented, "But I might get hit by a single drop, causing me to fall."
"What if I'm there with you, Dinky?" Boomer ventured to ask, "Besides, you're not that small."
"Alright Boomer. It's worth a try," Dinky finally said and the two soared in the rain.
"Good luck, boys!" Big Mama shouted after them and went to sleep in her hollow tree.
For good measure, Boomer was right. Dinky wasn't very light as the sparrow anticipated and he was thankful for Boomer's word.
While Tod and Copper were out enjoying themselves, the birds greeted them. "Dinky! Boomer! What are you doing out here?" Tod inquired.
"Not much, really, kid," Dinky replied.
"We just came out here to enjoy the nice weather," seconded Boomer.
"Who is this hound dog?" Dinky asked Tod.
"My friend, Copper," Tod answered.
Shortly, Boomer swooped down and gripped Copper by the collar, but to his surprise, the hound pup was a little too heavy for him to lift. So, the woodpecker gently set him back on the ground.
"I wouldn't be staying out in the rain for far too long, kids," Dinky warned, "Because you could get pneumonia."
"Pneumonia?" Copper and Tod asked in unison.
"Yes, it's a fever, but worse. You can get sick or even catch a cold."
Hearing this, Tod and Copper were terribly scared by his forewarning.
"So, you should get inside now, before you catch a cold," Dinky advised.
"Thank you, Dinky!" Tod said.
"We'll see you when we see you!" Copper called.
"Anytime kids!" Dinky yelled.
"Bye Tod," Copper said.
"See you later, Copper," said Tod.
Copper converged to his home, while Tod did the same. Fortunately, neither one of them got sick.
…
That night, Copper invited Tod to his home. The hound had the fox hide from Chief's and Amos's sight. Soon after that was taken care of, Copper sat on the couch for a few minutes enjoying his spare time.
"Copper! Pizza!" Amos cried, later getting his pup's attention.
Quickly, Copper descended toward the kitchen. His owner gave Chief and Copper a slice of pizza.
Copper secretly grabbed a slice and brought it to the fox.
Tod took a bite of it and found it delicious. "Mmm, this is some pretty good pizza," Tod said, not quite as loud."
"Yeah, it is pretty good stuff," Copper agreed.
"I couldn't agree more."
The End
Author's notes: I visualized the pizza scene when I was very little.
